Dear Parents/Carers,
The last day of school for students will be Friday 22 July. The timetable for the day is as follows:
08:40 to 09:45
- Lesson
09:45 to 10:30
- Minerva College Form Time
- Jupiter College Assembly
- Apollo College Brunch
10:30 to 11:15
- Minerva College & Jupiter College Brunch
- Apollo College Assembly
11:15 to 12:00
- Minerva College Assembly
- Apollo College/Jupiter College Form Time
If this early finish causes you difficulties, then please contact the relevant College Admin Office asking for your child to remain at the Academy as normal until 2:00pm and appropriate supervision will be arranged. Unfortunately, there can be no special arrangements with the buses, which will arrive at the normal time. All students will need to make arrangements to make their own way at home at 12.00pm.
There will be no lunch service, however students will be able to buy food during an extended brunch should they wish to do so.
Please note that communication regarding the last day of the academic year for Post 16 students will be sent via a separate letter.
Non-School Uniform
Students will be allowed to wear non-uniform on the last day, as a reward for their excellent attitudes and effort. Students are welcome to wear shorts if the weather is suitable however please ensure your child is dressed appropriately. Students are not allowed to wear crop tops or thin strapped tops and shorts must be of an appropriate length. Footwear must also be suitable with a back to the heel, therefore no flip flops or sliders can be worn. Parents/carers will be called to come and collect their child if they are not dressed appropriately so that any issues can be fixed, enabling them to return and partake in the above activities.
We would ask for a charitable contribution of £1 on the day which will be donated to MIND, who provide support around mental health issues, but we would not wish to exclude anyone from participating for financial reasons.
The academy re-opens on Friday 2 September for Year 7 students. Year 12 students will undertake the NCS Programme 31 August to 4 September. All students return on Monday 5 September – Period 1 will be Form Time.
May we take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support and wish you, your families and friends an enjoyable summer.
Yours faithfully,
Mr M Gore
Principal
